    I love this!!! I have a T handle system that we always used here in bottom land in Arkansas ground isn’t that hard, just working T handle back and forth we washed out a 4” hole and always put down a 2” PVC pipe. We’ve washed out as far as 75’-100’ but mostly 60’-70’ always have real good drinking water. We only have two sections of like a cycle cutter or kindbind cycle bar sections
